Stopping FRITZ!App Fon from running in the background

After you start FRITZ!App Fon, it connects to your FRITZ!Box via wireless LAN (WiFi) and then remains active in the background. Because the app runs in the background, you can then quickly and easily make calls with your smartphone over your FRITZ!Box's wireless network. If you want, you can also close FRITZ!App Fon, for example when you are not at home.
